Quick question from a newbie, Can you refrigerate fondant covered cakes? If so, how long is recommended?
You can ALWAYS refrigerate a fondant cake, however... most of the time, when you do refrigerate a cake, when you pull it out of the fridge, condensation can form on the outside of the cake, making it shiny. It happens more to me in the summer than in the winter, because the outside winter air is cool. So basically, as the cake comes to room temperature, it starts to 'sweat'.
The sweating will eventually go away, if you leave it out for a few hours. You can check in my pics, the blue baby shower cake with the moon on the top was my first cake that sweat on me. ![]()
I've been told that if you put your cake in a box, and then in a large garbage bag, and THEN in the fridge, it helps reduce the condesation. You're supposed to leave it in the box and garbage bag when you take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temp.
Hope that helps!
Thank you so much for all your input. I also thought about condensation. And especially for the warm welcome ![]()
I always chill my cakes for at least a couple of hours. It helps firm things up making your cake stable for delivery. Plus 99 percent of my cakes are filled with a whipped cream mousse.
